This tour was great! We learned so much about the city. Our tour guide Jason was very well versed, very knowledgeable and surprisingly, very humorous. It was an extremely hot day, so the air conditioned vehicle was quite pleasant. A few highlights included the French Quarter, the cemeteries (which were amazingly unique), the gardens, the devastation caused by Katrina and... More

Even though we took tour on our last day (best as other's say if you do it first) we enjoyed the overview of 3 hour tour. Jason was our Guide and covered so much in an interesting and entertaining way. Worth the trip. More

My husband and I always like to take a city tour to get a geographic orientation and a history lesson on where we are staying. Southern Style did not disappoint. Our guide, Jason, was fun, informative and well versed in New Orleans History. We had a very enjoyable morning, May 17, 2012 and will definitely look up Southern Style again.... More

My wife and I took the 3 hour afternoon city tour on April 30th. Our tour guide was Jason who was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of New Orleans. Our tour bus was very nice, clean and comfortable. It was a very nice way to spend the afternoon and we feel like we like we saw a lot... More

He was friendly, fun, and knowledgeable about New Orleans. Jason was full of historical facts and interesting trivia, while driving us around on our tour. We thoroughly... More

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and shared personal experiences both from New Orleans and from Hurricane Katrina. His New Orleans accent added to the charm, but his accent was very difficult for our foreign exchange student daughters (who speak very good English) to understand. We were expecting a small mini-bus tour from the tour description but instead were on... More

Billy was the tour guide and he was wonderful! This tour is well worth the money....you go so many places in the 3 hours and see so much of the city and the history from way back to Katrina you can't remember it all. It really is one of the best tours we've ever taken in any city (and we... More

We took the three hour tour of NOLA from Jason and it was great! he knows every inch of the city and has so many inside scoops. I wish we would have taken the tour on day one so we could go back to some of the great places he showed us. He also gave us some great ideas for... More

My husband and I took a "Southern Style City Tour" with John on April 27, 2012. It was one of the highlights of our trip to New Orleans.
